The mustache finally returns from his hometown from vacation, but at the same time brings back bad news.

"I've got another rather troublesome errand." He reluctantly called me to inform me, "Because of the vacation, I haven't completed a single task this month, and no one is willing to take this troublesome errand, so the door is forced to send it to me." ”

I sighed and asked, "Which corner are we going to go to this time?" How many days are you going? I'll have to take a leave of absence after a long time! ”

"It's in the provincial capital, no need to travel!"

I was stunned: "What kind of trouble is that?" ”

"Hey, hey!" The mustache's tone changed suddenly, and he smiled cheaply: "Xiao Zhai, have you been to a nightclub?" How about I'll take you to see and see this time? ”

I was startled in my heart and hurriedly said, "Don't be kidding! I'm a dedicated young man with a healthy mind and a pure heart, and I already have a fixed girlfriend! ”

"You think I want to?" The mustache also shouted over there: "I am also a Taoist monk who has been ordained and ordained for the Tao!" ”

"you!" I laughed and cursed. Seriously, just the mustache's usual hanging, indecent appearance, where does it look like a monk?

But kidding aside, since I've already taken this task, I can't push it off if I want to, and the remuneration is not bad, so let's do it! Besides, ahem, I still can't help but want to know a thing or two about some mysterious gray industry......

The client of this mission is surnamed Lin, the owner of a nightclub in the provincial capital, and the mustache calls him Mr. Lin on the phone. Mr. Lin is usually not in the store, and it is estimated that it is not convenient for him to come forward for this kind of thing, so he arranged another manager surnamed Zhang to receive us. Manager Zhang talked to Xiaozi on the phone again in advance, and asked us to go to the store at nine o'clock in the evening to find him. He said that "trouble" happened in nightclubs.

The nightclub is called "Lido Entertainment Club", which is located in the downtown area of the city, with a large façade and private rooms on the second and third floors. There is also an outfield dance floor in the lobby on the second floor. When I went up with the mustache, the subwoofer on the dance floor sounded deafening music and the rhythm was booming. Accompanied by the music, several beauties are dancing on the stage, and the audience below is whistling, mixed with a lot of foul language, which makes people feel guilty when they listen to it. It's the prime time of nightlife, and there are already a lot of guests, and most of the men are accompanied by a woman with heavy makeup. With the lights on the ceiling and the changing colors, the men and women below are staggered, and the language is ambiguous, and the business of this nightclub is still quite hot, and it really doesn't look like it's being haunted. The mustache and I felt out of place as we walked through the crowd, and it seemed that this kind of occasion was really not for us.

The two of us finally met with Manager Zhang in his office. Manager Zhang looks like a polite person, his face is a little thin, and he is not very old, he should be less than forty. After shaking hands and sitting down, the mustache and I went straight in and asked about the things entrusted by Mr. Lin.

Manager Zhang's face was not very good, a little pale, and he didn't know if he had been sick recently or because of this incident. Because as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a very unfortunate thing: "The night before yesterday, we had a 'little sister' here, well, a lady sitting on the stage. She hanged herself in the box. She was a little abnormal in the store before she died, she liked to drink with customers, or she just found wine to drink by herself, and she would go crazy if she drank too much. However, because she is usually very open-minded, there are still many guests who like to order her to accompany the wine. That night, it is said that she drank a lot of alcohol again, cried and made a fuss in the box, and when everyone else left, she herself hanged herself in the box with a scarf, so no one knows what the reason for her suicide was? But in any case, Mr. Lin felt that it was unlucky for this kind of thing to happen in the store, so he asked a few Taoist priests to do the thing the next day. ”

"We took it too." The mustache suddenly interjected and said to me, "I asked the Taoist friends who came to do the work, and there is no problem." ”

I nodded at him and continued to listen to Manager Zhang's briefing.

"But it's only been a day, and one of us died here last night!" Manager Zhang said to himself, as if he was frightened, his face became more and more pale, and his hands trembled slightly. "It was our security captain who died this time, and he also hanged himself!"

"Where did you commit suicide?" I asked.

"In his own office."

"Did he leave a suicide note?"

"Nope."

"Who first found out?"

"The ...... I Found"

"Did you call the police?"

"No ......"

"Didn't call the police the night before?"

"There is no ...... either"

The mustache frowned when he heard this, and said, "You don't call the police if you die, this is too bold, right?" ”

Manager Zhang looked very helpless and explained: "When we open a business like a nightclub, we just play side ball, and we generally don't want to provoke J Cha." As soon as J Cha came to the door, the customers didn't want to come, and our business was greatly affected. Besides, both of them committed suicide anyway, not homicide. Mr. Lin's meaning is to discuss with the family, give a little more funeral expenses, and let them take people back to take care of the aftermath! ”

"What did the family say?" I asked.

"They took the money and carried the people back, and they didn't make any trouble."

Still dissatisfied, the mustache continued to ask, "How do you know that the two of them must have committed suicide?" ”

Manager Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and even his lips began to tremble. He said in a trembling voice, "I was there yesterday when the security captain died. At that time, there was a guest in the box who was drunk and wanted to fight, so I called him and asked him to bring someone to deal with it. But he didn't answer the phone several times, so I ran to the security office to look for him, only to find that he had hanged himself......"

Manager Zhang said, then took out his mobile phone and asked us: "At that time, I kept an eye on it, after all, I was the first to find him, and I was afraid that I would not be able to say it clearly in the future, so I secretly took a photo with my mobile phone." Do you want to see it? ”

"Look!" I said in unison with the mustache. Pictures of dead people may not be dared to be seen by others, but we have seen a lot of them.

Manager Zhang's mobile phone really stored several photos of the deceased taken at the scene at that time, and the first of them came up directly to the "horror shot". In the photo, a big man in a security guard uniform hung his neck crooked under the air outlet of the central air conditioner, his eyes bulging out, his tongue sticking out of his elder, and his face was suffocated into black and purple. Hanging the deceased was a black belt, which looked sturdy, and it didn't break when a person hanging so heavily was hanging. The belt passes through the grille of the air outlet and is fastened to form a circle, on which the neck of the deceased hangs. It was supposed to be the security captain's own belt, as the waistband of his pants was empty, and his pants had slipped off a bit, revealing a section of his underwear. The next few photos show the body lying on the floor after being put down, and there are a few close-ups of the deceased's neck, and you can clearly see the obvious strangulation marks on the throat.

After poring over the photos, I asked the mustache what he thought about it.

The mustache said: "Judging from this photo, it does look like a suicide." You see, the belt is simply tied to a living ring, and if you don't hang your neck on it voluntarily, you can't hang yourself. And if you look at it again, the deceased in the photo only has strangulation marks on the throat in front of his neck, not in the back. If he had been strangled with a belt, the skin on the back of his neck would have been strangled as well! ”

I also think it makes sense for the mustache to explain this. He often bragged to me, saying that he had cooperated with the criminal police team for a period of time before, specializing in investigating some supernatural incidents, and maybe it was at that time that he secretly learned some criminal investigation techniques and experience.

The mustache asked Manager Zhang again: "Is there anything unusual about the security captain that may cause him to commit suicide suddenly?" ”

Manager Zhang said: "We have also asked someone about this, and his colleagues, subordinates and family members all said that he usually behaves normally, not like a person who wants to commit suicide." But the only possibility that can be related to it is that when the little sister died the night before, he was the first to find out......"

When Manager Zhang said this, he unconsciously trembled again. Obviously, the body of the security captain was the first to be found by him last night, and he must have feared that this strange thing would continue to happen to himself.

I saw that he seemed a little overly worried, so I comforted him, and then pointed to the photos on my phone and asked, "Did you take photos of the scene when that 'little sister' died?" ”

"Nope." Manager Zhang shook his head and said, "I happened to be resting that day and was not in the store." I only found out after hearing from the security captain. ”

"Did the security captain take a picture?"

"I asked him, and he said that this kind of photo was unlucky, so he didn't take it."

"What happened to the body of the little sister in the back?"

"I also contacted my family to get it back."

"Where does her family live?"

"I don't know."

"Where's the contact information?"

"I don't know, it's the security captain who is in charge of contacting."

"Where's the security captain's phone?"

"I don't know, it should be the family who took it."

When asked this, the mustache suddenly became a little angry and scolded: "I don't know if you ask three questions, you guys are too childish to treat this kind of thing, right?" After all, two lives have already been lost! ”

Manager Zhang didn't say anything, his face drooped, and his lips were closed. It seems that he is also very helpless, he may not be able to make a decision on this kind of thing, otherwise he would not be so worried. When I saw him like this, I went over to persuade the mustache and pulled him out of the office to discuss what to do next.
